Also, there are usually dark familial patterns with 8th house folks (in particular if the Moon is in this house). I've learned that sexual trauma runs in my mom's side of the family. There are lots of secrets and skeletons and, as the 8th house child, I seem to be the vessel for them. And I can either become lost in that darkness or find a way to acknowledge and channel it.

My brother has the Moon in the 8th House. I do, too, but it's very near my 9th House cusp, however, I feel both house placements very potently. And I must say, my mother was molested by her stepfather from ages 5-15 while her mother knew and did nothing to stop it. There have also been 5 other molestations of cousins of mine by family members, blood-related or not. Sadly, your theory is very true.

I'm 22 now so that has obviously left me at this point. It honestly depends on who meets me on how they see me. Some people will see me as highly mature, or very immature. That's largely because of my gemini energy though, I can appear differently depending on the circumstances.

I never resented being treated as older. I just wanted to be treated like I was on the same level as everyone else. Fairness is/was very very important to me.

KingTaurus and you remind me of myself (probably the Taurus and Gemini placements. )

I have an 8th house stellium as well; Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. I'm an only child who never got along with her mother past age 4, and took way too much advice from her father who's a bit negative after working in the government, and seeing crime for 28 years. I've always been wise beyond my years and found it very hard to relate to my peers in the way naturally social people do. At my core I'm disinterested in drugs, and drinking. I don't care about pop culture and I find it's sad I'll stoop to that sometimes in order to have a 5-minute conversation with my lab partner in class, because for that 5 minutes I actually feel like my age instead of a million times older.

:O I myself do get on well with my parents really. But I can talk to people my age okay but with anyone, I like talking about very deep things and recently I've learned that people find it hard to cope with. It's not really just my age , even older people now I guess...I just feel different, special I seem to have a more than normal sense of loyalty and I'm able to help anyone with anything, I most certainly don't drop them because I'm not weak like so many other people.

I'm heavily interested in natal astrology, some of the things I might be discussing can be very heavy going and potentially upsetting for some people- if this is the case I'll warn you now. I also hope I don't break any rules.

I've read a lot of things about the eighth houses influence on us humans. I've came across a quote about the moon in the eighth house- 'watch over children with this placement carefully.' People with planets like the moon in the eighth can apparently have traumatic experiences such as rape and other kinds of sexual abuse. Also a quote about boys with eight house moons, 'he may inherit something from woman', can anyone interpret this?

A lot of the information I've mentioned is very serious. I will ask you, if you feel comfortable enough, to discuss some of these things with me. I'll trust that people here will be tactful and sensitive towards others too.

I myself have a stellium in the eighth house including the Moon (20 Capricorn), Uranus (0 Aquarius) and Neptune (25 Capricorn.) I was sexually abused when I was younger a few times by my female baby sitter (mid-late teens I believe)and as far as I know my parents are unaware.

As a child, I was strange...I was quite naughty but also quite 'cute'. I always preferred adult company from very young and even could talk about very adult subjects. People always found me to be extremely intelligent for my age, so much so they were shocked. Although aggressive and intense minded sometimes, I'm apparently 'wise beyond my years'. I'm fairly introverted, I do have friends and people enjoy my company. I'm not like a lot of teenagers, I'm not into getting drunk and I've never done drugs. I feel quite disconnected from other people and I like it that way.

I'd love to hear about people's experiences with the eighth house and I'd be most comfortable with answering any questions anyone might have!

can I suggest you STOP reading Traditional astrology sites or books as they wil probably frighten yourself..... try modern we're much more amiable...

First interpret the SIGN traits, then house position and aspects to...
http://www.skyviewzone.com/astrology/houses.htm#house8

It could suggest that you come away from strongly held personal values and beliefs (2nd house) and investigate *other people's values and beliefs* and to learn more about 8th house matters, which could be anything from the above link. Maybe inheritances, you could be called upon to be Trustee or Executor, deal with goods of the deceased again all 8th house matters...

She has Moon, Sun and Merc in Aqua in the 8th.

She was born with a severe heart defect, had first surgery at 7 days, 2nd at 16 mos and her repair at 3, which was open heart surgery. (she may need further surgery in the future.

Her dad killed himself when she was 9, cause I was divorcing him, he was an alcoholic and neither of my daughters grew up in a "normal" home.

She has been to jail for assult (on me), she has gotten herself into many other predicaments that I shudder to remember, she has totaled 3 cars by 19 years old...

However,

She is one of the most intelligent young lady I have ever known, she is very spiritually evolved, has learned from her mistakes of the recent past and is trying to make a better present and future.

She attracts Scorpios frequently and does not like the Scorpio energy...(I have a Scorp asc.) I tell her that when a Scorpio comes into her life, she should stop, analyze and try to learn from the interaction...possibly a mirror for her.

Great thread!

my moon is well aspected in jupiter in capricorn...she will be around long after me...

my father is a healer and this goes with sun conjunct neptune in capricorn in the eighth....well aspected to pluto and mars...he was not around much for me for teh sake of healing others...they needed him...but i was always provided for

so he will be around long after me too...

I have had a vision. I will die around thirty - thirty five....like the others with my aspects...and when I pass away I will not be immortalized until 100 years have passed and my remnants are discovered by my nephews ancestors - he is not born yet.

Well, that was my point in that deep, thought-provoking and even challenging conversations are fun for me. It's hard to find someone my age who likes the same. I hope I didn't imply I drop people who don't live up to my standards because I don't. Also, you sound empathic. Do you ever feel what others feel as though you were experiencing the emotion firsthand?

I've got an 8th house Pisces moon, almost died at birth, and my childhood was painful.
